Hey air people from all over the world. As my username says, I want to fly. But...
About me:
- 27 years old, turning 28 this year
- Full time employed with a good salary
- Living in Germany, still learning the language
- EU passport holder
- Flying has always been my dream
- If I keep my job, I can do modular training without acquiring debt
However, the money question is what can I expect assuming that I do the training and 3 years from now I hold a frozen ATPL with 200 hours on it.
I know competition is fierce, so I don't expect someone to say "you'll find a job in no time, get your TPR funded by the airline, and off you go jetting off to happiness. happy days".
But, realistically, what can I expect? What do people do? How many hours do people usually fly until they get a job?
This part of the puzzle is what I'm missing the most to know, to help me decide if I'm about to burn a whole heap of money on a dream, or not.
I appreciate that many have asked this before with different words & context, but I'll be really happy to read anything you know, want to share, or your experience. It will make a difference.
Thank you
